The station was opened on 17 July 2017 as part of second phase operations of the line.[2] The station is located in the [Cheras](/source/Cheras%2C_Kuala_Lumpur) area of Kuala Lumpur, adjacent to [Jalan Cochrane](/source/Jalan_Cochrane), [Jalan Peel](/source/Jalan_Peel) and Shelley Road. It is also well known for being located near two large shopping complexes - the MyTown Shopping Centre (housing Malaysia's second [IKEA](/source/IKEA) store) and [Sunway Velocity Mall](/source/Sunway_Velocity_Mall), with the former being connected to the station via an underground pedestrian linkway and the latter via an elevated pedestrian bridge. The station's location is part of an area previously occupied by quarters housing government servants. ## Station Layout ### Station Layout The station has four underground levels, with three accessible to the public, namely the Upper Concourse Level, Lower Concourse Level and the Platform Level. One level housing the plant rooms is located between the Upper and Lower Concourse Levels, and is not accessible to the public. The ground level above the station is an open plaza with the station's two entrance buildings cum ventilation shafts, as well as a skylight with a distinctive glass pyramid. The theme chosen for the interior design of the station was "Urban Living" in recognition of the role the station will play in the redevelopment of the area.[3][4] The following is the station layout of the station:[5] G Street Level Entrances A and B, Taxi and E-hailing Layby, Feeder Bus Hub, MyTown Shopping Centre, IKEA Cheras, Pedestrian Overhead Bridge to Sunway Velocity B1 Upper Concourse Underground pedestrian linkway to MyTown Shopping Centre B1 level B3 Lower Concourse MRT Station Control, MRT Customer Service Office, Ticketing Machines, Fare gates, Entrance C B4 Platform Level Platform 1: 9 Kajang Line towards KG35 Kajang (→) Island platform, doors will open on the right Platform 2: 9 Kajang Line towards KG04 Kwasa Damansara (←) ### Exits and entrances The station has two entrances. Entrance A is located at Jalan Cochrane, and Entrance B is located at Jalan Shelley. There is also an entrance at the Upper Concourse Level in between the escalators to each of the ground Entrances and directly under the glass pyramid skylight, which links to the MyTown Shopping Centre and IKEA Cheras. There is a pedestrian overhead bridge that leads to Sunway Velocity Mall, which is accessible via Entrance B. Feeder buses serve the feeder bus hub located at Entrance A.

The station is partly located on the site of the former Cochrane Road government quarters. The quarters were demolished in 2010, and the area was earmarked for redevelopment. The MRT station was to become one of the catalysts for this redevelopment process and in recognition of this role, the "Urban Living" theme for the interior design of the station was chosen. ## Bus Services ### MRT Feeder Bus Services With the opening of the [MRT Kajang Line](/source/MRT_Kajang_Line), feeder buses also began operating linking the station with several housing and commercial areas around Bandar Tun Razak, [Hospital Canselor Tuanku Muhriz UKM](/source/Hospital_Canselor_Tuanku_Muhriz_UKM) (HCTM), [Bandar Sri Permaisuri](/source/Bandar_Sri_Permaisuri), Taman Midah, Taman Shamelin Perkasa and Pandan Perdana. The feeder buses operate from the station's feeder bus hub at Entrance A (opposite MyTown Shopping Centre). The same feeder bus lines also serve the [Maluri](/source/Maluri_station) MRT and LRT station, but only act as a pass-by. The T400 feeder bus route serves almost the same alignment as T402, which originates from [Taman Midah](/source/Taman_Midah_MRT_station) station.
